I should probably have mentioned that we already have a new world. You can get to it via stargate.

Mudokon_Master 11-22-2011 11:34 PM

Yes. Maybe you should have :P

Phylum 11-23-2011 12:03 AM

Ench and I were going to explore it earlier, but we thought it would be nicer to do with a large group of us.

Splat 11-23-2011 06:55 AM

Edd, the Exoddus gate nearest the Spleef Arena is acting up. When you open it, one of the pistons doesn't move; only 3 of them do. Then when you close it, the stuck one opens, and then all four close.

DarkHoodness 11-23-2011 06:58 AM

I'm aware of this - All gates do this now since Redstone mechanics have changed in 1.0, it seems. But I'm not sure it's worth me playing around with them to make them work as it should considering we've started a new world and I also want to get Rupture Farms ready for filming.

Manco 11-23-2011 10:58 AM

The server seems to be kicking everyone out at random intervals, so watch out.

DarkHoodness 11-23-2011 11:54 AM

BTW, for those that aren't paying attention to the RF thread, There's some "art theft" going on. In a way.

Sure, Rupture Farms is OWI's creation, not mine. Representing Oddworld in other games isn't an original, exclusive idea, and I wouldn't mind if he was doing the same thing as me - Just did he have represent RF in Minecraft in exactly the same way that I'm doing it?! His looks like a cheap rip-off of what's on the OWF server! Surely there's more than one way of doing stuff? What was wrong with looking at AO's artwork and coming up with his own way of representing that in Minecraft?

dripik 11-23-2011 12:09 PM

In days of yore, such "shameless ripping-offs" of other people's work were actually considered a tribute of sorts to the original author, even if he was really pointed out as the original source (Nahum Tate's rendition of "King Lear" comes to mind).

I'm not entirely sure, though, that this sudden whim of thought will bring you any comfort...

Well, once you put something out there for everyone to view, you can't really do anything against this sort of thing. You could troll him in the messages with posting links to your own videos, with the date of their posting attached.

Crashpunk 11-23-2011 01:47 PM

I hate people who directly copy something. They did even change it or anything.

Havoc 11-23-2011 01:53 PM

Server has been updated to CraftBukkit build #1493 (Experimental Build).


This should fix a whole host of issues. Also the new world now has it's own Nether. I'm not completely sure if the new world also has it's own 'End'. I'm still looking into that.

Destro 11-24-2011 03:25 AM

i want to see what you guys think of this design

Looks like a Ghost creeper with arms.

I like it!

Havoc 11-24-2011 09:13 AM

Got a new way people can donate if they wish. Using the link in my signature you can send funds directly to my account at the hosting provider. Minimum donation amount is 5 dollars though. For anything below that (1 dollar is good too!) you can still send donations to TigerXtrm @ gmail . com via Paypal.

Hulaabeo 11-24-2011 09:54 AM

The cultist posted a new time in Terra Nova...

Destro 11-24-2011 12:14 PM

Glad you like it crash. Too bad my sister deleted the map i didnt save by turning off my computer >_<. But i just made another one XD

Splat 11-24-2011 12:19 PM

Always 8... Out of interest, would anyone other than me be happier with 9PM?

And Destro, that should probably go in the Minecraft thread, rather than the OWF server thread ;)

7 rather than 6 for me, and 6:30 rather than 5:30 for Phylum—I’d certainly prefer that, and I’d say he would to.

Destro 11-24-2011 02:45 PM

Right. thanks for telling me splat.

26nd?

Hulaabeo 11-24-2011 04:40 PM

Yep.

Havoc 11-24-2011 04:47 PM

The cultist is an idiot.

DarkHoodness 11-24-2011 05:52 PM

I'm pretty sure it's not the same person responsible for the Cthulhu stuff though.

Mudokon_Master 11-24-2011 05:59 PM

9pm GMT is perfect for me but 8 or 7 is also good.

Phylum 11-24-2011 09:34 PM

I'm too tired this weekend. I may be around from 10pm your time, but no earlier.

Splat 11-25-2011 09:27 AM

Whoever aggroed the pigmen right inside the Nether Portal, can you let me know who you are, so I know who to send the list of things you owe me?
All my coal in the new world to start with, a stack of melon slices, a stack of glass, a lot of cobble and several iron picks will do for now. Oh, and my sword lost all its enchantments, so you can enchant one for me. :)

Hulaabeo 11-25-2011 09:40 AM

That would have been me. D:

I don't know how this happened but the stargate at Terra Nova has malfunctioned a little... err... alot...

DarkHoodness 11-25-2011 11:06 AM

Maybe an entry building could be made around it to prevent this from happening again. Apparently a creeper attacked Crashpunk as he exited the portal.

Havoc 11-25-2011 11:57 AM

Fixed the gate.

Crashpunk 11-25-2011 12:22 PM

It did? I don't remember that.

Havoc 11-26-2011 12:11 AM

Next time that happens BTW you can just fill the stargate up with dirt so the water goes away, remove the dirt and replace the sign in the following manner:

Line one: Terra Nova (Or whatever other name you want the gate to have.)
Line two:
Line three: Central (Name of the network the gate is on)
Line four:

Only ops can create a stargate (that is, it will only accept the above sign if it's placed by an op.

Now don't go placing stargates around every corner because I will hate you all forever :P

Splat 11-26-2011 10:31 AM

I was thinking it might be worth having one at the portal in the Old World near the Nether Fortress, though the discovery of the smaller fortress in the New World may make it obsolete. Still, I have my suspicions that there might also be a Stronghold near there.

Splat 11-26-2011 11:54 AM

Sorry for double post. I can't make 8. I'll be on at 9.

DarkHoodness 11-26-2011 11:55 AM

5 minutes until the event tonight and the server keeps going down randomly - Maybe it's Bukkit or the server not being able to handle this many people on at once while we're all in different areas.

It's not been a problem before though, back in 1.8 when Exoddus was started. Weird.

EDIT: In fact it's down now and not coming back up again by itself.

DarkHoodness 11-26-2011 12:14 PM

DOUBLE POST: It's back up. Me and the others on the server now think we should postpone until 9pm GMT.

EDIT: And it went down again briefly after Buncible joined - He was in Terra Nova. Maybe Bukkit is unstable, or the server has trouble handling two worlds at once?

Phylum 11-26-2011 02:10 PM

I think the latter may be the case.

Do we want to keep Exoddus if we can't use both?

Damnit I completely forgot about the event >.<
I really hate that about myself. I'm still pissed off about the whole thing. I'll expect lots of pictures and videos!

Phylum 11-26-2011 05:54 PM

Apparently it wasn't that great. I don't think we missed that much.

DarkHoodness 11-26-2011 06:14 PM

It was actually really fun, but a little short and anti-climatic - Which was a shame 'cause I can tell whoever made it put a lot of effort into it. We ended up creating our own entertainment afterwards though. Here's the vid (skip to 14:00 if you want to see something funny):



I built a wooden tower in creative mode while waiting for people to show up, then we burned it down after the adventure with Max the Mug inside. >: ) Later, we had a few drinks at the tavern and Exodduss, and then we walked to Rupture Farms as a big group (rather than use the star gate, 'cause it stopped working).

But yeah, the server didn't handle it very well, it crashed a bit and as I said above, the star gates stopped working. Also after one re-set it revoked everybody's OP powers, (this also sucks for me 'cause it won't be easy to continue working on RF until I get them back - Some of my plans are impossible without animal spawning or flying) and I think the current version of Bukkit isn't entirely stable.

Still, it was a very fun evening. :) Thanks to those who showed up! :D

Hulaabeo 11-26-2011 07:39 PM

Loved the reaction with Azkes' entry.
